In looking at the Public Estimates as they are severally brought before the house of Commons, we cannot but think they must all have been made long before the present pressure on the commerce of the country was felt, so little ac cordant are they with the situation of the nation. In times of public tiistress the Politic Servants would better have discharged their duty, had they placed the National Establishments On the lowest possible scale of expence, and sorry are we to see that the House of Com mons displays but little disposition to curtail the exuberance of heads of departments, and ►y one practical lesson impose upon them the conviction that economy is indispensable. An Honourable Member (Mr. BERNAL), last night, very natu rally asked, whence all the money was to come to pay the sums thus voted by the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said that he hoped to be able to show (on Monday next) that the revenue of the coun try was fully adequate to meet all the demands upon it. Even supposing these sanguine expecta tions of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Should not be disappointed, it is a poor thing to tell us at this time, for what does it infer but that the present expenditure is the lowest to which the country can go, and that henceforth we. may close our hopes against any further remission of taxation, because, if at a time when distress is so prevalent, no relief can be afforded, no ex penditure reduced, it is pretty evident that no such benefit can be expected at a season of pros. perity or welfare. If, on the contrary,- the Re venue of the country should decline, If it should in the present quarter, as it did in the last, and in the preceding, thew a falling off when cons- Pared, with the corresponding quarters of the last year, how then are these extravagant votes to be paid? So then it comes to this, that the public estimates are voted on the principle, of the highest expenditure,in hopes that the receipts at the Exchequer may enable the Government to Pay them, and not upon the principle of the actual meets of the nation. In times of agri cultural distress these estimates are not permitted to pass thus easily through the House—they are sifted to the bottom, and the fit of economy that thus seizes the Country Gentlemen, compels a modification at 'least, and, in some instances, the total rejection of many -items of expenditure. NV hen not only commerce is depressed, but agri cultural 'produce still keeps up, these same Country Gentlemen have no bowels-of compahsiln. The time is not far distant, however, wheti agri culture will feel part at least of that misery which now pervades trade, the prices of pro visions must fall, and again will clamours' be raised, again will outcries for public eco nomy resound in the houses of the greut,and then the administration will be driven to economy, If public want shall not previously enforce it. The Allgemeine eitung, received this day, contains the following account from Leipsig, re• ferring to certain bankruptcies which have oc curred there in consequence of the failures of some English houses. it also appears that the German wool trade is not in n flourkhing condi tion, owing to competition and the decline in the price of that article : LEirsio, FED. 2e. Our Exchange has suffered like others, though later, by the full of the house of Platmann and Co., which dealt in English manufactures. The loss chiefly affects houses in this city, most of them rich it is true, but some of them will feel it severe':. But it is not so much the disasters of the moment, as preced ing disadvantageous transactions, which have led to the pre sent ordeal-to which the, merchants are exposed, the result of which affecting so many, will consolidate the credit of those houses which pass through it unhurt. There is a very had prospect for the prices of wool of the finest quality ; the finest German wool will indeed always retaia a high value, but it must suffer a reduction of 20 to 2,1 per cent., and considering the increasing competition of the improvers, it may be ex pected that the reduction will in the sequel be_ still greater. The number of persona who wear the very finest cloth does nor increase in the same proportion as the number of rump wool. There ict, Therefore, a gloomy prospect for the great wool dealers, who, during the last two years, have suffered more loss, because they were so impruden as to abuse their credit in London on depots of wool, and would not accept moderate offers on their purchases, because they estimated the quantity of wool required by Eng land greater than it was, and would nut be content with more moderate profits than on former occasions. But the prospects of the Landholders with large flocks of sheep, of the improved breed, are even More gloomy, who will not indeed cease to maintain the purity of the breed, but must expect declining prices. The consequence of this may be that the plan may be adopted in Saxony also (which the greater poyu lation much requires) of letting the large noble estates to smaller landholders, whose personal industry will be able to increase the produce of the land by a inure diversified system of cultivation. Many landowners who have hitherto endea voured to restrict' the farmers under them in the,breeding of sheep, may learn, from the decline of the prices, that such re strictions are contrary to their real interests, which call upon them to preserve a wealthy class of farmers, if the division of the great estates in Saxony, as has long been the case in Fran conia, shall be advantageous to the landholders, us well as to farmers and the towns. The chief necessaries of life, such as corn, meat, potatoes, butter, &c. are dearer in Saxony than in any other part of Germany, partly on account of the heavy ex cise, partly from the number of consumers. We hear nothing of the succession to the Duchy of Gotha and Altenburg, the regulation of which by the three Courts in terestvd in It would be so desirable:—(Allgemeine Zeitiotg, Feb. FEB. 22. --illetnlliques, 119 7.16.; Sharo. 1090 1-3. It is singular that though our " Funds!' have fallen 420 per cent. in the course of a year, Y" the French Funds maintain the price of nearly par. This arises, no doubt, from the smallness of the debt of France—it being divided among ,u many small holders, and its paying such good interest. Mr. Secretary PtEL, receives constant commu nications from the Magistrates of Macclesfield and other disturbed places. Yesterday at twelve o'clock the flight Hon. and other Official Gen• tlemen had a consuliation upon the subject with the Earl of LIVERPOOL, at his tIOLISe in White.. hall. A private letter from Lyons states, that in that city and neighbourhood more than 60U per-- sons have embraced the Protestant faith, from a sincere conviction of its truth. On one Sunday, in the course of the last month, 17 abjurations of the errors of the Church of !tome took place in the Protestant place of worship. The following official notice was given at Gib raltar 00 the 9th alt.:--" Spanish Consulate.— The Consul of his Most Catholic Majesty, in this garrison, informs the Spanish captains, and the commercial interests in general, that under date of the 14th January, the Consul-General of Spain at Paris, gives the disagreeable intelli gence, that the Algerine corsairs attack all Spanish vessels.—(Gibraltur, Feb. 8 ) Num REPRESENTATIVE Prett.----The . death of Lord CanLEToti has occasioned another vacancy.in the Re presentative Peerage of Ireland. Three Candidates are already spoken of—the Earls of Illicalrn, Mouwreatinitt, and CILENOALL. DEATH or Lotto DowNEs.----Tbis very respect able Nobleman died,. on Thursday night, at his seat at Mer vile, in the 75th year of his age. His Lordship filled the place of second Justice of the Court of King's Bench in Ireland, for twelve, years, and was elevatetrto the chief seat on the death of Lord Kilwarden, in 1803. On his retirement about three years ago, he was rewarded with the Peerage (an Irish one), and a pension of 4,0001. a year. His private fortune was very con. siderable. Chief Justice Downes was always considered an honourable, upright man, and a sound practical Lawyer. He teas supposed to have had a strong feeling on the subject of the Catholic prosecutions in 1810, and proceedings were instituted against him, for having overstepped his lawful authority in the arrest of Mr. Taaffe and the other delegates at that period.— Lord Downes died unmarried, and his title and estates descend to his nephew, Sir Ulysses Burgh, whose elevation to the Peerage will occasion a vacancy in the representation of the -county of Carlow, of which Sir Ulysses, now ord Downes, was the Member —(Freeman's Journal.) MAccLtst , t,tn, S unday Morning.--There was a disposition M an if este d "on Friday evening to renew the riot at a remote part of the town called the Common. A number at fellows assembled, and threw large brickbats and stone% Oa several houses, to the great alarm of the inmates. The land lord of a public.house applied yesterday to the magistrates, to be sworn in as special conatable, and was assured also that every precaution would be taken to prevent a recurrence of the outrage. Thomas Brants, who was proved to have been v ery active on Monday, at Johnson' s (the - baker), throwing out the loaves, &c., was examined on Saturday, at Guildhall, anti fully committed to Chester. I cannot describe the sensation produced when the failure of the Congleton Bank was knows ; indeed, this week scents to be the very climax of despondency for, in addition, several failures of eminent persons here are confidently , mentioned, and 'people talk of the entire ruin of Macclesfield as the inevitable result. A meeting of weavers is to be held to-morrow, at 12 , at the National S c hool, to consider the propriety of petitioning against the Corn Laws. It is said that Mr. Pearson, a large manufacturer, has this week dis charged all his men. THE FUNDS.

INDI A. SUPPLEMENT TO TOE LONDON GAZETTE. MONDAY; MARCH 6. India Board; March 4, 1826. A Dispatch has been received at the East India Muse from the Governor-General in Council at Fort William, in Bengal, dated 24th August, 1825 ; with Inclosures, of which the follow. ing are copies : Copy of a !setter from Lieutenant Neufville to Captain Martin, Major of Brigade in Assam, dated NowDeehing Mokh, 9th jUay, 1823: Strt—l have the honour to report, for the information of Colonel Richards, commanding, that having received authentic intelligence that the body of the enemy, recently arrived from Mogaum, had pushed on an advanced party of sixty, with three mounted Chiefs, to within an accessible distance from my post, for the purpose of throwing up entrenchnients at a village about twenty-five miles off; on the Dheeing, I deemed it highly ex pedient to dislodge them. With that view I embarked in conoes on the afternoon of the 7th, taking with me Ensign Bogle and half the strength of the detachment, calculating that by push. ing on the whole night I might be able to reach them by day• break in the morning. The arrangement, lam happy to say, was attended with complete success. I landed about half a 'mile below the place at early dawn, and by making a detour round the jungle, came on the quarter occupied by the Bur mese at a little before five. On our charging, the enemy immediately fled in the weateit confusion, very closely followed by our men as fir as the ground would admit; but as they threw away their arms, and every thing that could impede their flight, even their clothes, we were soon distanced, and obliged to discontinue the pursuit. They lost either eight or ten killed, and I should suppose many must be wounded from the precision with which themen fired. The principal of the three Chiefs (who was recognized by my Bur mese to be Lail Daungh l'ah) escaped most narrowly, being several times almost at the point of the bayonet. The only casualty on our part is one sepoy wounded by a punjah. I have brought down with me the Chiefs of the village, prisoners, as security for the ransom of the numerous Assamese captives confined in their jungles. I feel greatly indebted to Ensign Bugle for his active and cordial co-operation, and the cheerful soldier-like conduct of the men desorves the highest praise. I have also the honour to report, that having heard of a few straggling Saums from amongst those who quitted Rungpore with Baglee Phokun, being concealed in the jungles near Suddeeya, I detached a party to bring them in. Five out of the nine were secured with their families, and I shall take the earliest opportunity to send them down. I have received a let ter from the throe Chiefs newly arrived, written in their usual style of verbiage, and finishing with a desire that I should itn tnediately go back to itungpore, and on my arrival there fall back with the whole force out of Assam ; to which I returned the annexed reply.—l have, &c.

If, my friends, you want us to quit the country of Assam, you had better come and turn us out. • ; J. B. NEUFVILLE. Copy of a Letter from Major Dreyer to Major Frith, command . - I ing at Mergui, dated Mergui, 2d April, 1825. Sir—l have the honour to report that, agreeably to your In structions, I embarked in the morning of the 29th ult. with the party as per margins, in some country boats, manned by Bur mete, and proceeded in a southerly direction until the morning of the 3lst, in search of those Siamese pirates who for some time have made such destruction in this province, when I dis-' covered six boats. I immediately made my boats fbrnt line, so as to prevent their ascertaining the number of ours, which.' am +stripy to say had , the -desired o'4l, as they did not appear. alarmed until we got near them. I then gave unless for tenant Bingham and Asidstaut•Surgeon Umbel! to proceed in two fast pulling bouts, told I accompanied in a third. We very soon overtook, and hoarded tour of them, two made their escape ; those taken made but little resistance, I suppose in consequence of our rear boats coming up. They proved to be four Siamese war-boats, well manned and armed; after :recur lug them we proceeded to the island of Yeaqudam, in the Bur mese territory, about ninety miles from Mergui, where we discovered twenty-six more; they approached as for some time, but at length returned and landed four hundred men, who took up a strong position on shore, and about four hundred remained in their boats, all well nutted, some boats having guns in their bows . I then hoisted a white flag, and a atni:l boat came with a man in it, with a message front the Chief; the Rajah of &inspire, who was at Mergui in February last, requesting I would come on shore, to which I replied that I wished him to conic and see me ; he said he would, provided I would separate from my boats, which I did, and waited for some time. He then sent some of his Chicts, who would scarcely approach sufficiently near to make themselves understood; how ever, I called to them to say, that I would not see any one but the Rajah. He then came, but instead of one boat, brought his whole flotilla, and attempted to get between me and my boats, but seeing his intention I prevented him. I then p u l led ' up to his boat and asked him to come on board mine, winch he refused ; in short I used every means to persuade !dm , but to no effect. I then asked him by whose authority he had taken pos session of this ,island, having built houses tbr himself and people, and how he could dare to molest the. inhabitants of the province of Mergui, well knowing from a former interview, about two months ago, that they were under the British protec don. Ills reply was, that he was sent by his King, and that be did nut care fur us I told hint that my orders were to bring him to illergui to see the Liowrnor, and that I had no doubt but his boats would be returned to him on his arrival, when he explained matters; during the• conversation I held his boat as he would not allow any one to come near him but my self. He then like lightning darted into his cabin, and a man who was by his side during the conversation made a cut at me, which fortunately I escaped, and several men pre, sented their muskets, no doubt with a hostile intention. I therefore gave orders for our men to fire, and I can scarcely say which commenced : finding our musquetry heavy he pulled off, and I regret to say, that in consequence of all our boats crews deserting their oars for some time, we could not again Conte up with their flotilla. He must have suffered severely front ottr fire as we continued chasing for about an hour, when we got rto fur distant anti no hope of corning up with him, and thought it advisable to return to the island. The enemy's fire was very well directed fur some time, anti I regret to say two nien of ours were killed anti two woututtal, one of them an interpre ter, who has left a widow, the other a Burma', and two sepoys wounded. I beg leave to bring to your notice the gallabt conduct of Lieutenant Bingham, rand Assistant-Surgeon !arisen, as also all the native Commissioned and Non-commissioned Officeri awl sepoy s. On my return to the Island I set tire to the houses- In wed the boats we took I found a small union jack of ours which these pirates took from the signal post at Tepaparam. 1 have, &c.

On quit ting their hot stockade they took to precipitate flight, in which iminner they have so derided an advantage over us that I did not attempt Barra-sing the men by an unavailing and hopeless pursuit. Early on the following morning, I directed Ensign ilogle, with 11) men, to press upon their rear as tar as the lages of Ninske and Kasson to the first pass (about 8 miles), in order to confirm their confusion, and, also to cover the escape of the Assatnese captives. This duty, performed . in the most able manner, and the result giving liberation to several hundreds of these unfOrtunnte people, must be equally gratifying to his own feelings, as it is creditable to his titer and judgment. From the top of the first pass the extreme rear of the enemy were seen clearing the second, and I conclude their flight to have been in great panic, from the gilt chattalis, silver swords, and other in signia of the Chiefs abandoned on the route. In the detail of operations the Commanding Officer will perceive bow entirely- t must have been indebted for success to the active and tubule cooperation of the Officers under me, Lieutenant Kerr and Ensign Bogle, most nobly seconded by the men, who, I may venture ,to assert, in all that regards the soldier, as well in cheer. ful endurance oemore than ordinary fatigue and privation, ar. dent alacrity on every prospect of service, and a steady bravery when opposed to the enemy, would have been surpassed by no troops whatever. Captain Bedford, of the survey department, who accompanied us throughout a volunteer, gave me th e be nefit of his experi e nce and personal assistance on every Paco soon.
